    "content": "belongs to them or not. I will give you an example. In Eldoret, Langas area, there is land measuring over 1,000 acres and it is occupied by people who are unable to use it economically because it has not been regularised and they do not have title deeds. Therefore, even if they wanted to develop it, approach a bank or financial institution, they cannot. They have been rendered economically useless as citizens of this country. I come from a constituency where 34,000 families live on land which, since 1992 when it was given to them by President Moi, has not been regularised and they are called squatters. Anytime, a mad man may wake up and decide that land belongs to Mwenje or Nabii and chase them out yet they are Kenyans. We have developed schools, hospitals, markets and other facilities in that area I was disturbed last week because we got a donor who wanted to develop a very big market there but he could not because that land has no title deed and so the county government could not allocate land that does not have papers. I request this House not to stop at this Motion. We must have a timeframe within which all these people settling on land that is not regularised will be regularised. We must go further and define regulations and rules that will be adopted by this House so the Ministry of Lands can regularise these lands. Hon. Temporary Speaker, I support this Motion. Thank you."
